Bang goes the strings alteryof my ps

A rise before before a fall. It goes like this. a forum member Janey very kindly went to the trouble of sending me some strings to replace my broken one, some thing i've never done. Read up on it, that's simple. Well the first string was. put it in and tuned it. ok. check other strings, one seemed flat. ajust string. BANG! I must remember to make sure i'm turning the right string to the one I want to tune. Things are never simple.

No, not simple, at least not in the beginning, but it will get easier. Restringing is the most frustrating part of a psaltery but with a little practice even that frustration will recede and eventually become a minor annoyance.
